COMBINED LAMP AND TIME-PIECE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,987, dated November 1, 1881,

Application filed February24, 1881. (No model.)

the United States, residing at Higginsville, in-

the county of La Fayette and State of Missouri, have invented Improvements in Combined Lamp and Time'Piece, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to those combined lamps and time-pieces in which the time-piece is situated under the oil-globe and supported by the lamp-standard; and my improvement particularly consists in a peculiar manner of combining the lamp-standard with the timepiece, rendering the combined device light, strong, portable, and capable of easy separation.

The accompanying drawing is a side elevation of my combined lamp and time-piece.

A is the common base or foot of bothatimepiece, B, and lamp proper, (J. The said timepiece may consist of an ordinary escapementclock. Fastened at each end to the base A, and formed to fit tightly over the time-piece and hold it securely in place, isayoke or brace, D. To the highest part of this yoke D, and

either formed in one piece therewith or firmly attached thereto, is the supporting-standard E of an oil-globe, O. The time-piece preferably rests on a pillow on the base A, as shown, but may be otherwise held in place thereon.

I am aware that it is not broadly new to combine a lamp with a time-piece, this object having before been accomplished in "arious ways.

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a combined lamp and time-piece, the yoke D, constructed and applied substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. In combination with time-piece B, supported by a pillow on base A, the yoke D, and lamp 0, substantially as described.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
